I get to go for language testing for a design monkey job. This is good. This means my craptacular portfolio passed muster.

Still waiting to hear back about Jobs A and B. I'm not holding my breath about Job A, and Job B on the other hand – I'm glad I operate well with lack of oxygen.

Would you take more money for a good job, or less money with less promotion potential for a great job?

More money and good is better than less money and less promotion potential in my book. Of course, it all depends on what is making the one job GREAT while the other is merely GOOD...

It's an entirely theoretical situation. One job is as a graphic designer, work that I love to do (it's anal and creative) with fewer career options for me and starts at about $4,000 less, but caps out about $30,000 lower than being a programme administrator, which in the right field is really neat, but absolutely awful in the wrong field, but on the plus side it's very mobile as a career and can potentially be earning $60k in 5 years and $90k in 10.
